Regular inspection of the blower and its
installation, along with complete checks on
operating conditions, will pay dividends in added
life and usefulness. Pay special attention to
lubrication of timing gears and bearings according
to the information in
Lubrication (Splash)

manufacturer’s instructions and lubricate the
coupling or check the belt drive tension. Use
thermometers and gauges to make sure that
blower operating temperature and pressure remain
within allowed limits.

repairs can often be performed locally as described

major repairs not covered in this manual, contact
the nearest Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems
